47. How is this possibly anti-Biden? The Banter has been a defender of him the whole time.

The only other OP directly about Reade I have posted (11 days ago) and left up was from the same site, where they trashed Reade and stood up for Biden.


here was that OP

Tara Reade's Sexual Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden Is Falling Apart

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213321631



here is a section of this current OP

Knowing the destructive potential of a second Trump term as president -- knowing how it would annihilate the last remaining institutional impediments blocking Trump’s ongoing power grab, we ought to be extremely suspicious if not downright hostile to anyone who’s helping the president or hurting his opponent, Joe Biden. This is a political war for our collective future. This election will determine whether we’re spraying the crops with Brawndo under a Trump dictatorship, or whether America will course correct and reacquaint itself with democratic values. Not to belabor the point, but defeating Trump at the ballot box has to be our highest national priority this year. Everything depends on it -- one of the myriad reasons why I’m so driven. It’s also one of the reasons why I’m deeply suspicious of the motives of activists who are exploiting the allegation of Tara Reade to damage the Biden campaign, effectively aiding in the re-election of Donald Trump.


it goes on from there:

Are we as a nation better off with Trump instead of Biden? Progressives who say “yes” in response to that question are rejecting the most progressive Democratic nominee in history while de-facto supporting the least. And they need to wise up about all this now, before it’s too late.



deffo not 'anti Biden'

This is why I almost never post or reply on this subject, and shall endeavour to avoid so in the future.
